[WATCH] Dramatic shootout in Randburg

I just love the way he colored in the side of the car, then took a dive and tried to do the same with the tar..

It's pretty unclear from the poor quality footage, but I'm not sure that it was an AK47, looked like an R5 with a longer mag, not long enough for a 50 rounder, but could have been two staggered 30 round mags taped together.

There is a part where he is at the Bakkie still, you can clearly see it's an AK
 
No, it's an SAR M14 "Dashprod" semi auto.
Usually stolen from security companies.
FWIW....and because it came up.

So when you see gunshot blood spray in a movie you know it's real.

You'll also notice the guy was hit, but he kept going for a few seconds. A bullet doesn't stop you instantly, also why the police try to shoot for center mass (bigger target, more chance of stopping them too).

Yeah, I dunno.

I surprised myself by feeling a wash of sadness for the perp who was shot in the head.

Theoretically I know he's a violent thug, but I also assume that he's someone's son.

I'm quite sad that I feel sad, if you know what I mean.

Once I was sure that he was in fact a criminal, seeing him collapse brought a smile to my face.

I feel empathy and sympathy for the guards, who must be pretty shook up by this. Their families who know that they have to go and put themselves in harms way again tomorrow/next week/next month to put food on the table. The woman who was hijacked. Even the people in the offices who, although safe, was probably traumatized by this. I feel sympathy for them.

The guy who died, his friends who lost a friend, his parents and everyone else who probably financially benefited from his deliberate violent crimes... well, their suffering makes me happy. **** them.

I am not elevating his life above that of the potential victims, but I wonder about the turns his life took to have him land here and die in this horrible way. He could have chosen a different path and that he did not, THAT saddens me.

For some people there is no bad turn.

They're just too lazy to put in the hard yards like the rest of us, and take the easy way even if it comes at the cost of other people's lives. Couldn't GAF about the lives of people like this...
